| I am putting together a blog to help sailors and boat operators prep for their licensing exams, and I want to use AI to handle the question drills and study guides. The content is pretty niche with tons of regulations, so generic chatbots are not cutting it. Anyone know a solid way to set this up without relying on big cloud APIs? | |

| When you are dealing with specific regulations like COLREGs and licensing requirements, you need the AI to actually know the material instead of making stuff up on the spot. Running self-hosted AI agents lets you feed it all the maritime textbooks and rulebooks upfront, so every answer it gives is grounded in real reference material, you can check out how that works here https://heym.run/platform . The big advantage is your data stays on your own server and you are not paying per query to some external service, which adds up fast when students are hammering practice tests all day. | |

| Chunk your study material by topic before feeding it in, keep navigation rules separate from safety procedures. The AI retrieves relevant sections much faster this way, and students get precise answers instead of a wall of text about everything at once. | |
